The document outlines the thesis defense of Violeta Damjanovic for her PhD in ambient intelligence and adaptive online experiments. The thesis addresses integrating probabilistic knowledge from pervasive semantic web environments into ontological models to enable adaptive and intelligent experimental environments. The proposed solution involves mechanisms for transforming probabilistic asynchronous process knowledge into ontologies and collecting ambient process knowledge to develop an adaptive semantic ambient system called AmIART. The thesis is expected to contribute to integrating the pervasive semantic web into online experimenting systems and adaptive systems considering uncertain knowledge.
